Comment Could be a hoax, but... (Score 5, Informative) 362

Were this just an isolated incident, I would be screaming hoax with the best of you; however, given PayPal's handling of a recent charity case, where a group had their account suspended after trying to raise money to buy presents for poor children, I'm not so sure. Quote PayPal's support: "You can use the donate button to raise money for a sick cat, but not poor people."

I do this exact thing and use mp3fs on Ubuntu to allow me to quickly transcode files for use in iTunes. You basically mount your directory containing the FLAC files in fstab as something like /media/music/mp3s and voila, instant mp3s with tags. Works great!

This has been my experience too. I was in the Netherlands and was only able to get voice, not data, as I was not a resident (US citizen)--though I was going to be there for a month. I'm going there on Saturday and would love to have data whilst I travel around. If Germany is covered too, that would be great.
